Why wont power windows work unless door is wide open?
My 98 civic's power windows wont work unless the drivers door is wide open. I Thought the hot wire to the switch must be broken at the door hinge point so I checked the switch plug for power with a test light with the door fully open. 4 of the 14 terminals had power(all windows work)good. Closed the door, checked for power again. The same 4 terminals still had power( no windows work)bad.
I dont get it.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thank you,
Jeff

Also a test light will only tell you that power is going to it, if there is a break or corrosion in the wire the light will come on but you may have less power than required to make said part function correctly. In my opinion I would also check how much power is going to the switch with a multimeter
